Detroit's 'most violent city' status examined in mayoral debate

State Sen. Coleman Young II pointed to an indisputable fact in a debate with Mayor Mike Duggan on Wednesday night: Detroit is statistically the most violent city in the U.S.

Young cited figures that didn't match official numbers released by the FBI last month, nor those tracked by the Detroit Police Department, but he was right that Detroit overtook St. Louis in 2016 to once again become the city most plagued by violent crime in 2016.
